Keyword Index to Air Permits by Rule

To find out whether your facility is covered by a permit by rule (PBR):

  1. Make sure that it meets the general conditions found in Title 30, Texas Administrative Code (30 TAC), Section 106.4.
  2. If so, search the list below for:
    • the type of facility;
    • each process you will carry out—for example, “mixing” or “coating”;
    • each type of equipment you will use—for example, “laminating press” or “grinder”;
    • each material you will use—for example, “plastic” or “wood”.
  3. For each item you find in this list, follow the link to a Web page that briefly explains the relevant PBR, summarizes its requirements, and links to the relevant rule.
